Apropos earlier posts on the long wait of residents of Thiruvallikkeni
for continuance of ‘Sri Parthasarathi Koil Post Office’ …. Residents have been
representing to every authority ; have given petitions and now given a
memorandum requesting intervention of the Hon’ble CM of Tamilnadu Ms J
Jayalalithaa too.
Recently I had posted on the report that appeared in The Hindu….. Today’s [17th Oct 2013] leading Tamil daily ~ Dinamalar - also
carries a report stating that the present imbroglio is due to the fact that
HR&CE insisted on advance; to which Postal authorities had problems stating
that Postal Dept never pays advance and that the rent fixed is agreeable……
HR&CE reduced the advance to 6 months though they were communicated that
Post Office is not in a position to pay advance.
Local associations / residents came forward to pay the advance money ~
relinquishing any claims that anyone could have to such deposit – the move has
not found favour with either of the departments.
A building in Car Street
belonging to Thiruvallikkeni Sri
Parthasarathi Swami Temple
stands ready but somehow procedural wrangles have ensured that it could not
come into being despite passage of months……
When will the long wait of Triplicane residents – the aged and pensioners
end ?!?!? and when will we see revival of ‘Sri
Parthasarathi Koil Post Office’ ….. only one of its
genre named not after the locality but after our presiding deity Sri
Parthasarathi.
